Our customers enjoyed their travel
Taken very good care of
The cruise went very well, the organisation was top, the boat and the islands were magnificent, we ate well, Vera was very taking very good care of us.
The only drawback is that I would not leave again in August in Italy, the climate changed too much, it is not manageable, the extreme temperatures, in addition to too many people even on the water. This is my personal observation that I pass on to you, next year I choose the beginning of July and not too far south.
